Chapter 2
Authoress note: Sorry it's taken so long to update! Hope you enjoy!
As soon as the girls were dried off and warm they went back down into the basement. They got more sodas, as if they needed any more, and circled back up. Alex was sitting against the couch with her phone in her hand, gazing at the picture on the screen.
"Perfection…" Alex muttered to herself, sighing.
Colista laughed. She was used to this. She didn't try to argue anymore like she had in the past. It was useless. The girls sat in silence for a minute, a rare thing with this group.
After a minute, Allie had had enough of it. "It's too quiet!"
"I am a butterfly, hear me roar! I am a butterfly, hear me roar!" Alex snapped her phone shut and stood. The rest of the group stared as she continued. "Giant wings, covered in blood, darker than the darkest black, I'm on the dark side now, there's no going back!"
"Amazing!" Collette yelled. Allie just stared.
Colista laughed again, "Alex, only you could put a negative connotation on something so pretty, like a little butterfly!"
"It's not a negative connotation; it's just a unique one."
"That's true, its definitely unique. Just like us!"
Alex pulled out her phone again, going back into lala-land, or in her case, Billa-land. "Escape to the stars! Feeling so free, just you and me! Escape to the stars! Chasing your dreams, all that you need is to believe!"
Alex was known for bursting randomly into song. At least one other girl usually followed suit.
"Escape to the stars, to the stars!" Colista finished the chorus to the song, Escape to the Stars by Cinema Bizarre. They were one of she and Alex's favorite bands. "I like that song; it should be me and Georg's song."
"Mine and Bill's song is Fur Immer Jetz."
"That's the German version of Forever Now by Tokio Hotel, right?"
"Yes indeed, who else?" They all laughed. Alex was probably the most Tokio Hotel obsessed in the group. Tokio Hotel was everything she was, the very reason she got out of bed every morning. They were a lifestyle for her.
"No, I think yours and Bills song should be Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha!" Allie yelled out, joining the conversation.
"Why you little nasty…" Alex trailed off.
"I don't think you should finish that sentence." Collette was probably right.
Alex sighed, "Yeah, maybe I can't say anything." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a plastic spoon. She put it in her mouth upside down as if to prevent herself from saying anything more. The group laughed, only Alex would carry around a plastic spoon for such occasions as this.
Alex glared at them, "My spoon!" she said threateningly.
"Oooo your SUCKING on a SPOON!" Collette emphasized to make the sentence sound dirty.
Alex glared, "Just because I suck better than you…"
"Woahhhh! No one needs to know that!" She plugged her ears. 'Lalalalalala I can't hear you!"
Alex grinned evilly. "Everyone needs to know that, especially Bill!"
"Well he may be the only one." Colista unplugged her ears long enough to hear what Alex had to say and reply.
Alex said "I declare…"
Colista cut her off, "Please don't finish that thought. Or, if you must, please do so in the privacy of your own head."
"I agree!" Allie added.
Alex looked defeated. "But… but… but… they all said it."
Allie looked confused. "They?"
"Countess Collette believes that the voices have returned to their normal talkative state." Collette looked very pleased.
"Why are they speaking Spanish again? They know we don't speak fucking Spanish! We're American!"
"Yeah, we don't speak Spanish either. They should really know that by now."
Colista and Allie watched the exchange between Alex and Collette without commenting. They had learned it was better not to ask.
After a moment of silence, Collette and Alex both turned around simultaneously. "Would you shut up?" They sounded very annoyed.
Alex gasped. "It doesn't like Bill! It dies!"
Collette gasped too. "That one just dissed Tom! Did you hear that? Oh that's it, it's going under now!"
Alex thought for a minute. "The zombies or the crazy maniacs?"
"Both!" Collette smiled. "And don't forget the little purple people!"
Alex added, "Or the little yellow people!"
"Don't forget the fire breathing gnomes!" Colista looked proud of herself for having something to say in a conversation like this.
Alex grinned, "Oh yes, them too."
Allie was looking off into space, "Maybe something lime green…" she muttered to herself.
They all turned to look at her.
"What?" Alex finally asked.
"Oh, Gustav's new shoes… or maybe his glassed…" Allie went back to her thoughts and the group didn't even try to stop her.
"I need pudding!" Alex randomly burst out, dashing up the stairs.
Colista laughed, 'Yeah, because that wasn't random at all!" The sarcasm in her voice was evident.
Alex turned around, halfway up the stairs. "And when are we not?"
Colista nodded, "Very true, sista."
Alex started back up the stairs, then haulted suddenly. "Never mind, I'm too fat already."
Alex was very, very far from fat.
"You are not!" The rest of the girls yelled simultaneously.
"I am too! I'm fat and ugly and no one will ever love me! Especially not Bill!" She collapsed on the stairs, burying her face in her arms.
Allie looked scared. She hurried over to the corner farthest from the stairs and curled up in a ball.
Collette sat on the couch, picking up a pair of scissors. She opened and closed them in rhythm, looking at them dreamily. Collette did indeed love scissors.
Colista, unlike the others, ran over to Alex and hugged her. "I love you Alex!"
Alex kicked Colista off of her and Colista stumbled back down the stairs, grabbing her injured boob. "Ouch! I think I just lost a cup size!"
Alex glared, "That's not funny!"
Allie stared in horror and Collette laughed absently.
Colista said to Alex, "Yeah, my boob doesn't think it is either!"
Alex ran to the corner and buried her face once more. She refused to leave for almost an hour.
And so, the night continued just as crazily as it began. They all crashed off of their sugar highs eventually, and they fell asleep happily on COlista;s basement floor. They slept for almost ten hours, dreaming. Of what, I will spare you and not say.
